https://github.com/medined/Accumulo_1_5_0_By_Vagrant - this recent spate of activity on the mailing list encouraged me to revisit this project. Also the new version of Vagrant makes it super easy to to package a Virtual Machine into a box for later re-use.
Starting a three-node cluster using my original steps took over 30 minutes. However, once the cluster is working, you can follow the newly added instructions to create your own .box files. Once you have you have those .box files, you can re-create the cluster inside of four minutes. Alternatively, I have the three .box files available on S3, but because they are about 700MB each they have the 'requestor pays' attribute set. https://s3.amazonaws.com/accumulo.1.5.0.by.vagrant/affy-master.box https://s3.amazonaws.com/accumulo.1.5.0.by.vagrant/affy-slave1.box https://s3.amazonaws.com/accumulo.1.5.0.by.vagrant/affy-slave2.box If anyone wants to provide free hosting, feel free to grab them and provide a free link.
